Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao or KCR, aspiring for a national role ahead of the 2024 election, launched the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), a new version of his party, at the recommended "auspicious time" of 1.19 pm today. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is now BRS, KCR declared after a party meeting. The "name-change" was conveyed to the Election Commission, which has rules for recognising any party as national. Would KCR take on  Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 national election?
